Andy Garcia reminds us why he was once a burgeoning big-screen star

Andy Garcia was on the verge of becoming the new Robert DeNiro or Al Pacino in the late 1980s and early 1990s — dark-haired and handsome, volatile yet seductive, equally good as cop or criminal, lover or fighter. But somehow, someway, the Cuba-born star's faded. The good news of 'City Island,' then, is that Garcia has a fine role in it and responds with a strong, likable performance. Grade: C-plus.
